    • RE: Rude Module Developers

      @bkeyport Rude? Seriously? This a ‘project’…that means that YOU are required to do some of the work not just make requests and have people just comply with them. They are not trying to be rude they just don’t have time or desire to build a module for your mirror. Most developers do this for themselves and give it freely to the community.

      The REAL problem I see around here is that the vast majority of developers have full time jobs and this is a hobby for them. BUT people are turning their hobby into a full time free job. It’s not how it works.

      Developers WILL help you but at times people ask for things that would literally require a developer to rewrite the entire module which, and I don’t blame them, they do NOT want to do.

      With all that in mind did you ask ANYONE else for help or just go to the developer and didn’t get what you wanted so now you’re mad? Did you post a topic on the forum asking for help?

      This is THE very reason why I quit releasing ANY modules at all. I work all day and ‘tinker’ when I get home but I kept coming home to a WALL of requests to basically rewrite entire modules so instead of showing blue squares it would show red circles…[just a made up example] because one person wanted it that way. I too no longer do that.

      Go buy a TV and tell them you want it to be able to come on at 4PM before you get home and turn itself off by 11 when you go to bed…see how that works out for you. Point is they aren’t trying to be rude but what you’re not taking into account is that possibly…maybe…perhaps…they also had a bad day.

      I write modules for the ‘majority’…I have had people offer me money to write something specific for them.

      So before you come here telling the world someone is rude think about it… you’re just mad because you didn’t get exactly what you wanted. Next time ask the “community” for help OR fork it and try it yourself and if you have a problem ask the ‘community’ to help you. I know they will… I just did that very thing for someone yesterday… they wanted guidance on how to do something…so here https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/9139/displaying-modules-depending-on-sunrise-sunset-time/2

      Asked for help, explained what he was trying to do and VIOLA! Help came…easy as that. THIS, what you’re doing…will get you nothing but more frustration.

      I know SEVERAL developers that would have jumped in if you simply asked for help and not did this…

    • WHY is Mykle1 such a forum god?

      This guy writes so many cool modules.

      He has like 1000 followers I think.

      The man just knows…

      Well through determination I figured out the issue :)

      There will be 2 branches of this module…the original and the one I call NOAA2

      Here’s a screenshot [NOAA2] take up less space, almost ready!!

    • RE: stronger Raspberry Pi 3 Alternatives

      I am using an RPi3 for my bathroom but the 32" inch mirror I"m using a mini itx board with intel chip 8 gig of ram and 120G SSD.

      It has the wireless mini card and the video is amazing. I realize the mirror was built based on the RPi but using a real board gives it that much more power.

      So things like @strawberry-3-141 voice module is REALLY fast and responsive. I’m also using an IR touch frame that responds quite well with no additional drivers needed.

      Love the RPi but it just wasn’t giving me what I wanted and wanted to be able to do with this project so I opted for more power… :)

      Pretty much just getting the bugs out now I’ll repost when it’s ready but in case anyone is interested…
      Simple clock with date and your current weather condition.

      You can show seconds or not. Weather is a config option [your city name] is all that’s needed.
      Color changes to the clock, the day/year and weather will be done via the config file.
